Top Shelf, ES model Power seats, rear windows, mirrors?

Beautiful, Black with red, my favorite color combo!!

Strange there are so many differences between the ES and LX.

Thanks

I like it too i just wish it was in better shape.I think only thing holding it together is the plastic ES stuff.Its rough.Interior is in awesome shape.

I just found out about a turbo 5-speed van for sale.

LMAO, that's about as turbo-mopar as you get. I'm sure it'll get some long deserved love from you.

The mirrors don't work on my van either. The wires inbetween the door and hinge pillar are probably broken. I remember fixing a lot of those back in the day.

I tried to put power mirrors in Woody, got a set from the J Yard in good shape, no stub Harness in the door?? WTF? Power seats were no problem, harness was under the carpet Damn SE van

I received my 1989 Plymouth Voyager brochure today. Page 12 shows the party potential of the Chrysler Minivans.

Solo cups everywhere and coffee for the morning after.

I have solo cups ready to travel.

Ive found that the cupholders DO NOT, in fact, keep drinks upright while powershifting.

[ajakeski]

Drink faster

And I have found that the 5 passenger van as shown is NOT Very party friendly either. Glad I got rid of that one (BlueWrench) Now a 7 passenger Mini (like Woody or Whiteout) with the middle seat removed has a much better party potential for boisterous OR intimate parties

How about the " Bought too many cars and now I'm sleeping in one" seating:

^LOL, I never knew the convert a bed option was only avail in 5 passenger-I guess I'll never have one of those. And yeah, I slept in Woody a few hours a night in the CVS parking lot(didn't sleep much!) during the Big D days Sucked and was awesome at the same time

if you take seat out a single air matress fits quite nicely!How much more room do you need for parties?

[Rrider]

I could have used that convertabed a few times.. but did much better than a few hours a night in mine! Yea fun and terrible at the same time.

I had towed my van down to Tucson to race and on the way back I was so tired, since the van had the seats out, I was contemplating pulling over to take a nap. The only thing that prevented me was the lack of a pillow and blanket.

I have some friends the want to go to Sturgis this year. If I go I'm getting a bike trailer and will be towing my bike with my van. To keep cost down I'll be sleeping in my van since it's an 18 hour trip from Phoenix.

The Voyager needed struts and shocks badly. I did some shopping online and found that MOOG sells a complete strut assembly for the Voyager/ Caravan twins.
Everything is new, springs, mounts, etc. $107 each, includes hardware and shipping. Best of all, not dicking around with the spring compressor.
20 minutes and the whole thing is new.
The new struts even came with body bags for the old ones. A couple photos show them ready for a two for one burial.

I have a few more things to do before I get it out to see how they ride. I know these aren't Koni's, but they have to better than old and worn.

[2.216VTurbo]

Wow, that's a pretty sweet deal, When Woody needed new struts I put some Rock Auto cheapies on and regretted it right away. By 5-6K miles one side was completely shot. I traded them out for Koni's but Daytona Koni's so I lost 2 inches of travel which I still miss over big bumps I do have some Mini Koni's now but don't want to raise the front back up that 2" again. So I have an idea to cut the strut tower tops off and extend them 2", there is room under hood but it's a pretty labor intensive maneuver and I've been wrenching on other projects so it will have to wait

i just picked up brake hoses front and rear for both vans,front brake pads for #2 van and upper strut mounts for $43 shipped from rockauto!
